Mailbox Monday: What books came into your house last week?

I have an exciting report for Mailbox Monday this week. I don’t think I’ll ever be short of great reading materials, because guess what, I received another book from Robert Fate—his latest—last week! Baby Shark's Jugglers at the Border is scheduled to be released on September 2009. This is the second advance review copy (ARC) that I have received and I am counting my blessings! I have enjoyed the last three Baby Shark books tremendously and cannot wait to dig into this one. Robert Fate will be making a guest appearance here so be sure catch him on my blog! More information on this is coming your way soon.

Meanwhile, do check out his other Baby Shark books mentioned here in my blog back in January this year.

October 1958—When Otis Millett's estranged wife, Dixie Logan aka The Dallas Firecracker, as she was known on the Texas striptease circuit, is murdered it spurs a manhunt that pairs Kristin and Otis with Lt. Carl Lynch, a straight-arrow homicide detective with the Fort Worth PD. This blending of by-the-book and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants investigative styles brings Kristin way too close to a ruthless cop-killing gang of bank robbers and their boss, a dreamy maniac who lives with his mother and hears voices. The question that endangers Kristin's life and leads to a chase from Fort Worth to New Mexico is where did Dixie hide the bank heist loot? Hold on tight—once again bad men learn too late they should have taken Baby Shark seriously.

Do read more about the book on Amazon.com and more about the author here.

I'm Alice and I love books, beer, and racking up Qantas frequent flier miles between Singapore and Penang on Jetstar (and other parts of the world). I aspire to be a polyglot. Although I can only speak English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, and most recently, Italian, I'm hoping to master Swedish really, really soon!
